@JohnRentoul @robertshrimsley Tories had 14 years to reform the bloated leviathan. The lack of self reflection is quite impressive.

@sportingintel Europeans need to be clear how they can help develop the game in poorer national FAs. Otherwise Infantino can always portray them as a self interested cabal.

@Ole_is_right Football escapes EU scrutiny because it has a substantial grassroots community benefit. A separate commercial company controlling international football might invite legal challenge.

@PaulBrandITV @JohnRentoul I think Burnham understands that if you don’t fix palliative care first then assisted dying will always be seen as a budget measure. They’d be no incentive to fix care if assisted dying is an option now.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@Malachians But politically astute in promising a $20m bung to poorer FAs that constitute his power base in FIFA. He knows that as long as they get the money they won’t be too bothered that he gets his cut as well.

@lfg_uk You are not banned from shopping on Sunday. It’s ridiculous to say so. There are loads of smaller shops that can and do open later. We tried the 24hr opening during the rest of the week, it failed.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@JohnRentoul Again very good point except it’s being made by people who care nothing for EU or WTO rules. If you’re for Brexit then this is exactly what you wanted.

@davidyelland @thomasforth Both entitled and hypocritical. What about the South West? East Anglia or Wales? Places they didn’t care about 5 minutes ago.

@DamCou Never mind careering around the wilderness, would it survive an hour in Manchester City Centre without being dismembered and chucked in the canal?

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@kmei_ @thomasforth A lot of southern commentary revealing their open snobbery just isn’t worth listening to. Perhaps a more constructive criticism would be that PM needs a dept to be more effective and that building would need to be closer to the power centre to be useful. But no we get north bad.

@shashj @DAaronovitch The program is doing what is it designed to do, Altman is pretending that it’s a scary monster trying to get out.

@DamCou Celebrity big brother cast announced

@Malachians If they’re both made of Nylon then I don’t see the difference. Takes me back to my days at The Textile Institute. The real danger is poly cotton. A fabric that spontaneously combusts, difficult to put out and melts onto your skin.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@JohnRentoul @Athena_Stavrou So a major plank of Starmer policy wasn’t budgeted for? Isn’t that Jones’ job? No wonder they’re all out of work.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@Gaydio Stop with the performative pearl clutching. It does our community no good.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@KevinASchofield Ok. Senior Labour source has started howling at the moon again.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@Muppetiers Annoyed that they managed to injure Mainoo without even playing him.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@SwedishRumble Cumulative fatigue is a thing. Why are there 3 rest days between tournament matches? Because FIFA likes the number 3? It’s been long studied and accepted in international football. Except in England where we shoehorn as many games as we can into a season.

[Mark Colburn @colburnmark]

@Malachians I think every United fan would recognise Argentina’s desire to play to the very end
